Opening software:

  • Click robot link on bottom of left screen to open windows.  Windows are Jogger, Robot Motors Flow, Main “ASIC Test System.”   Pull down right corner of Robot Motors Flow window to see flow chart.
  • Open Servo window from Jogger menu.
  • If “No Comm” on Robot Motors: Servo menu -> GA 6000. You might have to repeat this a few times.

Locating robot arm:

  • If robot is not parked (e.g. after emergency stop), press “Home” on  Jogger window.  Robot will slowly find parking place using limit switches.  It should then come back 1/2 from corner if successful.  If it does not do that, press Home again.
  • If robot doesn’t move at all, toggle switch on 48V power supply.  PS should be set to 46V.
  • Once home is found, you can use "Park" to take it to its parking spot without finding home

Servo menu:

  • DC/T = Down to Clam/Tray
  • SE/D = Servo Enable/Disable
  • VE/D = Vibrator Enable/Disable

General info:

  • You can click and hold the cursor on each chip to see ID and chips count from front left to back right, left to right, front to back
  • You can reload a previously saved configuration
    • In Main screen: click “file” then “restore” and enter file name ("now" for last saved, or 000/… if you saved manually)

Setting pointers:

  • Main->Set Pointers
  • IGood, IBad, IMargin, IMargin2 is location of where next Good/Bad/Margin/etc will go
  • ITest is next chip to test
  • ChipID is updated when the robot first goes to pick it up and test it, so should be put to value for the previous chip
  • "Exit Changing Pointers" to Save
